Accessing the periodtype & value of strategy

[clint2008]

Hi,

I'm trying to add another symbol to my strategy in the initialize section. I would like to have the symbol added with the same periodtype and periodvalue than the symbol for which the strategy runs.

I'm now using a parameter, but the value of the parameter is not automaticly in sync.

How can I access them, because initialize will not accept Bars.Periodtype.

Hi, unfortunately symbols can't be added dynamically.

I now have:
Add(strInstr, bPeriodtype, bValue)

and on the parameterform I give the variables a value.
I found the NinjaTrader.Data.PeriodType enum. What is the enum for a symbollist?

Unfortunately this is not supported. You just have to type in string values for the instrument you want.

To match the PeriodType and Period selected in the Strategy use the following code in Initialize()

string instrument = "^SP500";
PeriodType periodType = (PeriodType) Enum.Parse(typeof(PeriodType), BarsPeriod.Id.ToString());
Add(instrument, periodType, BarsPeriod.Value);
